EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print by Cesare Rossetti, dating back to the 16th century, showcases two putti, or cherubs, assisting a figure as he bends over. The scene, titled "Studies of a Figure Bending Over, Two Putti, and an Arm (recto); Rest on the Flight into Egypt (verso)," is a masterful exploration of the human form and the delicate beauty of mythological figures. The recto side of the print presents a captivating study of the figure, who is deeply engrossed in a task, with his head bowed and his arm outstretched. The putti, with their chubby bodies and playful expressions, provide a striking contrast to the seriousness of the figure's demeanor. The artist's skillful use of black chalk and wash creates a rich, textured effect, with the putti's bodies blending seamlessly into the rocks and stones behind them. On the verso side of the print, we find the scene of the Flight into Egypt, with the Holy Family making their way through the rugged terrain. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately drawn landscape and the subtle variations in the figures' expressions and poses. The use of iron gall ink adds an antique quality to the print, transporting us back to the time of its creation. This magnificent print is a testament to the artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring appeal of the human form. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
